I don't want QEMU to be GPLv3.  I don't like the terms of the GPLv3.

I don't mind GPLv2+, if people want to share code from QEMU in GPLv3
projects, GPLv2+ enables that.

But if new code is coming in and happens to be under GPLv2, that just
means that the contribution cannot be used outside of QEMU in a GPLv3
project.  That's fine and that's a decision for the submitter to make.
